Limbaugh Ties Ferguson To Benghazi: 'All Of This Is Barack Obama'

By CAITLIN MACNEAL Published AUGUST 19, 2014, 4:44 PM EDT

Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday inevitably found a way to tie the protests in Ferguson, Mo. to the Benghazi scandal.

A caller on his radio show told Limbaugh he was tired of reading about Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson in media coverage of the Ferguson protests and said he felt they have been "using this event to gain political bank."

"That's the point. You gotta understand something. This is far bigger than the Reverend Jackson and Al Sharpton," Limbaugh responded.

He noted that he heard Sharpton had tried to charge the family of Michael Brown for his services before circling back to tie Sharpton's involvement in the Ferguson response to the Obama administration.

"But this is the Democrat Party, folks. The president of the United States is in charge of what's happened here," he said. "I think it is time for everybody to come to grips with a simple reality. I don't care what scandal you name -- Benghazi, Fast and Furious, take your pick, IRS -- has anybody involved in any of these scandals been fired? Not a single person."

Every one of his policies was presented on the bodies of 9/11 victims.

What Bush did was of course horrific, everything he did, but Romney broke new ground

OxyRush says exactly what this fool is expected to say.

And the Shittoheads eat this crap up as expected too.

"Benghazi, Fast and Furious, take your pick, IRS -- has anybody involved in any of these scandals been fired? Not a single person."

Every single one of those cherry picked topics have been proven to be non-scandals.

Not that facts ever made a difference to this awful creature.

No need to fire anyone.

The POTUS does not have jurisdiction over this, though he is helping, but how it's a scandal only Rushblow knows.

The IRS "scandal" is a creation of Issa's imagination. The only thing partisan is Issa demands that only requests by conservative groups be examined.

Only problem, Oxyrush, is that only the people of Issa's district can fire him.
